Proxmox VE is a complete open-source platform for enterprise virtualization. It’s a great application for virtualization that can compete with VMware, Hyper-V, KVM and Xen.
Once installed, you would login to the built-in web interface to manage VMs and containers. So, you have installed Proxmox and when you login you see a pop-up error message:
PVE provides free version. The Paid versions offer support and are highly recommended if you are using Proxmox for production. To see the paid version go here: https://www.proxmox.com/en/proxmox-ve/pricing
This pop-up can get a bit annoying. So, to remove we have researched and put together this article to remove it so we can be pop-up free.:
To start, backup the file “/usr/share/javascript/proxmox-widget-toolkit/proxmoxlib.js” with the following command:
cp /usr/share/javascript/proxmox-widget-toolkit/proxmoxlib.js /usr/share/javascript/proxmox-widget-toolkit/proxmoxlib.js.backup
Now lets edit the file.
nano /usr/share/javascript/proxmox-widget-toolkit/proxmoxlib.js
You can use crtl-w if using nano to search. Search for “No valid subscription.”
Look around for the following string:
if (res === null || res === undefined || !res || res
.data.status.toLowerCase() !== 'active') {
Ext.Msg.show({
title: gettext('No valid subscription'),
In this instance:
Also, you can check the line where the code starts with the following command Alt + Shift + # will give you line numbers. This will be on line 546 on Proxmox version 7.4-3 -Thank you RELLEK!
Replace the following string with the string below:
if (res === null || res === undefined || !res || res
.data.status.toLowerCase() !== 'active') {
Replace with this:
if (false) {
Here is what it should look like:
Now, restart Proxmox service:
systemctl restart pveproxy.service
Log out of Proxmox, clear the browser cache and restart the browser then login again. The popup should be gone.
Switching Between Desktop Environments
To switch between desktop environments on a Debian based distro run the following command:
sudo update-alternatives --config x-session-manager
Then you should be presented with the desktop environments you have installed on your system so you can choose one of them:
There are 7 choices for the alternative x-session-manager (providing /usr/bin/x-session-manager).
Selection Path Priority Status
————————————————————
* 0 /usr/bin/mate-session 50 auto mode
1 /usr/bin/cinnamon-session 50 manual mode
2 /usr/bin/gnome-session 50 manual mode
3 /usr/bin/mate-session 50 manual mode
4 /usr/bin/startplasma-x11 40 manual mode
5 /usr/bin/startxfce4 50 manual mode
6 /usr/bin/xfce4-session 40 manual mode
7 /usr/libexec/gnome-flashback-metacity 40 manual mode
Press
update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/gnome-session to provide /usr/bin/x-session-manager (x-session-manager) in manual mode
Then you can fill in the number corresponding to the desktop environment that you want and press enter.
Then you can logout and log back in, and the desktop launched should be the one that you selected.
In Ubuntu 21.04, you will not see and files at /etc/network/interfaces. Also, in checking /etc/neteplan/01-network-manager-all.yaml there is a message:
# Let NetworkManager manage all devices on this system network: version: 2 renderer: NetworkManager
Change to static IP address if you use Ubuntu as a server. The interface name [enp1s0] is different on each environment, replace it to your own one.

A vulnerability in Apache Log4j, a widely used logging package for Java has been found. The vulnerability, which can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code by sending crafted log messages, has been identified as CVE-2021-44228 and given the name Log4Shell. It was first reported privately to Apache on November 24 and was patched with version 2.15.0 of Log4j on December 9. It affects Apache Struts, Apache Solr, Apache Druid, Elasticsearch, Apache Dubbo, and VMware vCenter. Since then, it has been disclosed that in certain non-default conditions, the original patch was incomplete; this was designated as CVE-2021-45046 and a new version of Log4j, 2.16.0, has been released.
The installation of a supported Proxmox VE server should be done via bare-metal ISO installer. In some cases it makes sense to install Proxmox VE on top of a running Debian Bullseye 64-bit, especially if you want a custom partition layout. For this How-To any official Bullseye installation medium should work.
For this Demo, I am installing 3 KVM VM’s. As you can do VM nesting. Also, you can do this on Vmware or Hyper V. Here is the Architecture.
ScreenFetch and Neofetch ares a system information tools designed primarily for Bash Shell but function with other shell environment as well. The tools are smart enough to auto-detect the Linux distribution you are using and generate the ASCII logo of the distribution with certain valuable information to the right of logo. They are also cool to look at on login.
